Arpita Saggar

Hello!

I’m a PhD student within the UKRI CDT in AI for Medical Diagnosis and Care at the University of Leeds. My research focuses on using generative AI to create patient simulations for medical training. I’m fortunate to be supervised by Professor David Hogg, Dr Duygu Sarikaya, Dr Jonathan Darling and Professor Vania Dimitrova.

Before starting my PhD, I was a Data Science for Social Good fellow at the University of Warwick, where I worked with Save The Children UK and UNICEF to map child poverty across sub-Saharan Africa. My background is in Computing, and I’ve previously worked on research projects at the intersection of AI and healthcare.
